I'm spending the day on ICE trains, getting from Berlin to Holland, then performing in the evening, wearing funny clothes and making stuff up.



I planned to give Click Opera a holiday today, but at the last minute I thought I'd post this photo and ask you, dear reader, to make stuff up yourself: a short (fifty words or so?) narrative related in some way to the picture.

I won't say anything at this stage about what the photo is, who took it, who's in it, where or why it came about. Think of it as a Rorschach onto which you can project whatever you like -- a rumination, a story about the characters, a joke, a piece of philosophising, a weather forecast, a sci-fi scenario, a haiku, a fashion report. Be creative, be kind, give me something interesting to read when my iPod crackles to life in the Dutch wifi!

Travel. It's shit. Everyone travels now. How many times has a colleague excitedly told you about their plan to take a month's unpaid leave to jump Machu Picchu on a vintage scooter, after a week of IT conferencing in San Diego and Dallas? And your eyes have glazed over, haven't they? - because travel bores have gotten everywhere. By its nature, travel was educational, but also fun. Travel used to be difference, difference was rare and exotic. Travel was a kind of soft bling. It said "I'm special" without rubbing gaudy materialism in anyone's face. But, if travel tits are everywhere, what marks someone out as really special, an adventurer, a pioneer?

Answer: staying at home. Finding everything Planet Earth has to offer in one crumb-laden bedsit or studio flat.

Staycations. Where the heart is.
